The
traditional art of cartography has been revived in the Cartart
private workshop, founded by Dr.
Zsolt
Török in
Budapest, Hungary. Since 1992 cartographic landmarks, historically
important, highly decorative
and extremely rare maps have been published here by the original technology of
production. These
maps are the sheets of the 'Atlas
Collectus' series that
we designed and publish for lovers of early maps.
In 1996 we published
the largest printed globe of the world: the new edition of
the 42" terrestrial globe of Vincenzo
Coronelli. We publish LIMITED
EDITIONS and produce CUSTOM
COPIES.
Our maps are hand
printed from original woodcuts
or copper
plate
engravings on
fine hand made, archival quality paper, and are colored by hand. They
are not
reproductions, neither copies
or facsimili- but rare and original new editions. They are
FacTsimile maps.
Our
works protect a part of the art of European map and globe making, a
part of the World's Cultural Heritage. With
your support and contribution this cultural conservation project
can continue - at the same time you can have the map you always dreamed
of, a piece of the traditional art of cartography, designed and made
for you. We can make other custom products: survey, design, engrave and
print a
map of your world. Please,
contact us if you want an unique gift for
yourself, your family, friends or your company!
For
information on availability and order please, contact the PUBLISHER by e-mail!
We have presented
special copies of our maps to:
Our maps are preserved and/or
displayed in major libraries and
institutions, public and private collections
in Europe, the
United
States and worldwide (e.g. Library of Congress, British Library, Harvard Library, Newberry Library, George Bush Presidential Library)

Security
notice
We produce original maps by traditonal technology. For the
all-original quality
of our products their right identification is very
important.
For
security reason there are identification marks on every map
produced in our workshop. Beyond these
hidden 'fingerprints', there are clearly visible inscriptions: the name
of he publisher and the date of publication can be found in
the map
area. Our maps are also protected by a special, non-removable,
structural 'OT' watermark. You can read the word 'cartart' in the
watermark. To avoid the misuse of our prints we offer only colour
copies. The custom printed maps, illuminated in our workshop are unique
and we can always identify our works. If in doubt or if you need our
assistance with
identification please, contact the Publisher!
